Had my 17th flight on Monday. Took a Marine to Balad after he was hit by an IED, shrapnel injuries and a belly injury. Flight was very busy, but his condition actually improved over the course of the flight. The trip to Balad, or Al-Asad, isn't nearly as scenic as going to Baghdad, but we prefer the less scenic route if it means less chance being shot at.
